DK Metcalf News
Wednesday, August 19, 10:04 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf says he's "fine" despite an undisclosed injury that has kept him out for roughly the past week and a half, according to Nick Farabaugh. There is also no long-term concern about his availability for Week 1. Metcalf has missed a decent stretch of August work and did not dress for Pittsburgh's preseason opener against Green Bay, with head coach Mike McCarthy saying over the weekend that he would be hard-pressed to practice this week. The Steelers haven't seemed interested in pushing him back onto the field. Metcalf played 15 games in his first season with Pittsburgh, catching 59 passes for 850 yards and six touchdowns. The missed time isn't ideal with the regular season getting closer, but Wednesday's update takes some of the worry out of it. If Metcalf is indeed fine for Week 1, Pittsburgh can afford to be patient with him now.

Michael Wilson News
Saturday, August 22, 12:05 PM
Arizona Cardinals wideout Michael Wilson is coming off a career year where he set career-best marks in targets, receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. The 26-year-old finished as the WR10 overall in PPR scoring and averaged 13.0 fantasy points per game. Wilson quickly established a connection with Jacoby Brissett and reaped the benefits of Marvin Harrison Jr. missing an extended amount of time due to injuries. However, in the three games Harrison played over 70 percent of the snaps after Week 6, Wilson averaged 7.9 points per game and failed to surpass double-digit fantasy points. In addition, Wilson averaged 4.9 points per game during the first seven weeks of the season when Harrison was on the field. It will be intriguing to see if Harrison and Wilson can coexist in Mike LaFleur's new offense. If not, Wilson could fade to being off fantasy radars in season-long leagues again.
